All Saturn transits are transits of death and mourning.
Saturn square the Ascendent and you are pondering the “old you” – the many old yous – like dominos.
Saturn square the Asc is also Saturn square the descendent and don’t be surprised if you find yourself mulling over past relationships, mulling over the past, the past, the past —
because all Saturn transits are transits of death and mourning and I was about to type that ALL TRANSITS are this – but i don’t believe it’s true.
But for Saturn it’s true and this isn’t to say we don’t benefit or we don’t build because we may but we do that among the flowers of mourning.
This is a necessary part of life. To reckon. To see what is dead and gone. To see and to feel. And to not get stuck in the past. Let the boats pass. Mourn and wave them along.
Have you experienced this? Where is your natal Saturn?

Saturn is conjunct my ascendant in capricorn squaring my sun, mercury and Venus in Libra. Pluto just hit the degree of my ascendant and I definitely feel the sense of mourning and transitioning from past self and 12th house habits, to a more present, full, and honestly its kinda like getting punched in the soul over and over again for my highest good. The transformation is also slow and subtle, albeit completely transformative and life changing. Not sure if I am scared or excited, (or both!) for my Saturn return in a couple of years.
punched in the soul!!!
Natal Saturn in Aquarius. Transiting Saturn is currently conj my asc in 12th house. *That* transit I’m feeling like a mofo. And Mars Rx in 11th/12th, too. It’s weird, I feel very little during inner planet transits but holy crap have the outers been smacking me with poleaxes. 😛
As to how – well, so much past childhood stuff has been coming up. A lot of pain, but oddly enough some good things, too. I’m experiencing life more like a child in some ways – a little less weighted down by old crap.
Didn’t like that one either nope!
